No, powers from Storm Summoning (the buff/debuff set) do not interact with Storm Cell and Category 5 from Storm Blast. I am still going to make a Storm Blast/Storm Summoning Corruptor for thematic reasons. 🙂

I'm curious how multiple storm blasters interact more generally. If I use my storm blasts against a target in someone else's storm cell, will my blasts trigger that cell to proc? Or do my blasts only trigger my own storm cell?

For what it's worth, I disagree. I think Lightning Storm still looks really cool recolored. A lot of powers lose subtle but neat looking effects when you recolor them, I accept it as par for the course. I still recolor Lightning Storm (along with the rest of the set) 100% of the time. 😉 Whether or not my opinion matters... *shrug* I at least had to offer it.

I was responding to the people who said that Storm Summoning (not Storm Blast) looks bad when recolored. I just wanted to provide an alternate opinion so it didn't seem like the player-base is united in this view.

Respectfully I disagree. Storm Summoning looks great with custom colors. (Edit: I know we aren't supposed to provide feedback on feedback but I wanted to make clear that not all are in agreement on this point. Though I doubt Storm Summoning will be tweaked, I'd hate myself if I said nothing and a change was made.)

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that if I cast Intensify AFTER Storm Cell and Cat 5, that it won't buff their damage, but it will buff the proc chance? So if I want Intensify to buff the damage component of my patches, I have to cast it first? If that's the case, I wonder how the damage actually compares. Increased damage from Intensify for full 10 seconds on Storm Cell & Cat 5, but only 4-6 seconds to cast attacks in order to trigger procs vs No damage buff from Intensify on Storm Cell or Cat 5, but full 10 seconds to use attacks and trigger procs regardless of how many patches you lay down first I was under the impression that most of the damage from Storm Cell came from using your attacks on mobs within it, not the power itself. So it seems like sacrificing the +Damage from Intensify for about double the amount of time for using blast attacks is actually the way to go?

Are we sure this will never be done? I was going to post a suggestion for two elemental sets: MM Primary and a Buff/Debuff.

Oh, that's fantastic! Thank you for confirming! I went back through the thread to see if I had missed something but I didn't see anyone say specifically that it does still work if you use it after you drop your patches. I am so relieved, thank you again! 😄

It's my understanding that the increase in chance to proc still requires you to use your blast powers to induce that proc. Therefore if you spend 2 sec each casting Storm Cell and Cat 5, that leaves you with 6 sec to cast a few blast attacks and actually get the benefit. Less if you also want to drop another patch, like Freezing Rain for example. So IMO it would be great if Intensify still worked if you hit it AFTER dropping your patches.

To each their own. There is literally no storm in the universe more violent than a Category 5 hurricane*, so the name totally works for me. It may be the Floridian in me, given that storms and hurricanes are more than just abstract concepts down here. 🙂 *Unless you count a tornado as "a storm" which I don't, and it appears most meteorologists agree.

They'd have to change the animation to make it look like whirlpool, then. Maelstrom: a powerful whirlpool in the sea or a river. Origins: from Dutch "malen" (to grind or whirl) and "stroom" (stream).

I would love this, if it can be done. Seconded!! Personally I'd rather be able to enhance the recharge, because we CAN get it under 40 seconds. I very much dislike when the recharge can't be enhanced in a power. Then again, I agree with folks that are saying it /seems/ like we should just be able to have 30sec recharge AND 30sec duration. I don't see why Storm Cell is considered "so overpowered" that reducing the recharge MUST ALSO include a reduction in duration, but I admit I'm no expert. FWIW - As a Floridian I have to respectfully disagree. Tempest and Nor'easter are just storms. Monsoon and and Torrential Downpour are storms with lots of rain, and Typhoons are Tropical Storms. Category 5 is serious in a way that those other terms simply aren't. So just MHO of course but I think Category 5 is a great name. 🙂 Overall I am very excited for this set. Storm Summoning is my favorite set, and MMs are my favorite AT, so I am already used to having to slot everything with light blue enhancements, and going Cardiac most of the time. 😉 So it seems like Storm Blast will just be par for the course as far as endurance use is concerned. Absolutely rerolling my namesake as a Storm/Storm corruptor, THANK YOU DEVS!!! ♥️

Well that explains why it seems to happen at random and why it disappears after a time. Thank you!!

I managed to get a screen shot, 🙂 Does anyone know what causes this?

Does anyone know what causes the infinitely long, thin thread that comes off Nova form sometimes? Of course I can't replicate it now that I'm trying to get a screen shot, but I am sure yall know what I'm talking about. Why does that happen?

My husband went to log into his account & got the "this account is already logged in" error. He clicks okay and tries again and gets in. He hasn't played since last night and shut down his computer overnight. We both changed our passwords last time this happened, just in case. Not sure why it happened to him again?

I just went back and looked at my original screen shots again and noticed that Sapphire Sting was a Rogue and still got credit towards the badge from parking in Cascade Archipeligo. So presumably that zone is working as intended, at least. Credit towards the badge, but no badge til alignment swap.

Okay so my original post is correct: The Storm Palace is NOT awarding credit towards the dayjob badge. Sapphire Harlequin is currently a Vigilante and has been parked in The Storm Palace since last night, somewhere in the range of 12 hours or so now. She still has ZERO progress towards dimensional explorer. Yes, Firebase Zulu is awarding credit. All of the other purple zones are, it's just The Storm Palace that isn't. My goal is not to get the badge for Harlequin, it was merely to track down this bug. Which I discovered on my badger. 🙂

Yes, will do! I just moved her back into the Storm Palace, and will check again in a few hours. Good suggestion! (Edit) I checked again this evening and she still has no progress. I will check again tomorrow I guess.

I can now confirm that Rogues do NOT get credit for time spent (at least in The Storm Palace) towards the dayjob badge. I just talked to Null with Sapphire Harlequin and turned her into a Vigilante, and she still doesn't have any credit towards the Dimensional Explorer badge.

I don't think rogues get credit either, unless it's secret credit. I guess I can go side-swap on Harlequin and see if she gets a bar with progress.

Oh I see! Thank you very much!

I could maybe chalk it up to the fact that the toon I parked in the Storm Palace isn't level 50, but: 1. I didn't think any of the day job badge credit was level dependent, and 2. The day job bubble was visible in my buffs under my health bar, so that should mean I am in the right spot for progress, right? 3. I discovered this bug on a Level 50, my badger. I parked her in the Storm Palace for a WEEK and was distressed to see she was still stuck at 7 hours from whatever progress she had before. So I don't think it's the level.

And finally, the Storm Palace. Notice she's progressed with Patrol XP, but still doesn't have a progress bar for the shadow shard.
